I didn't try it yet though sigh, but will soon. Jeremy Visser did though, said he got 404's for the pages, but that's expected I guess lol. Welp..going to try it on the localhost once.. see what happens.

oops! sorry spencer :P do it, do it this weekend!! you know you want to!!

Hahaha..it's ok lol. =P Yeah, I'll prolly change it all up either tonight or tomorrow. ;) I was kind of thinking about just doing it, when I upload the "new" theme I'm working on, but that might be a while from now..plus, my as well get the "permalinks" changed *now*, so they get settled in and all lol.

Just updating everyone on this..lol. That script, and .htaccess mod_rewrite above..works!! =)

I just changed my permalink settings now..uploaded that
wp-newuri.php file to the root, and added the mod_rewrite rules.. of course to point for the "root" directory..and the redirecting works and the /id/%post_id% permalink settings work just nicely.. =)

Now! I have *not* tried everything possible, so please keep that in mind, if anyone feels like testing a few things, feel free and let me know here. ;) However, there was a tiny glitch with the above "script" codes and I'll post the proper ones in the next reply..

I think it sad that no one could even post an opinion or suggestion.. wtf!?

i think it boils down to when the forum 'supporters' (regular question answerers/moderators/etc) are stumped on something, in a general sense, one of two things happens, either, there's just no one out there with better information, or folks feel intimidated posting an answer.

i'm going to start up a thread on a similar topic (which I've sent in to wp-hackers already) and I've got the feeling based on past experiance that it won't get much response.
